I pushed and got my other leg out of the door, but in doing so I found myself 6 down the body of the plane towards the tail. My parachute (降落伞) got caught and my 7 and legs were pushed backwards, powerless, in the strong wind.
I was strangely 8 . To a skydiver, being at 12,000 feet is a good thing. Altitude is your friend；being close to the ground is deadly and will kill you.
Ants appeared and 9 slowly towards me, his legs held by Chris in the door. Ants reached out and got hold of my foot. With the weight partly off, I found myself falling away from the plane, 10 freed. I waved and smiled to indicate I was fine.
